Fast treatment for chest pain

TriStar Summit is an accredited Chest Pain Center that strives to provide the best possible care for patients who enter the Emergency Room with complaints of chest pain. Our goal is to have patients who are having a heart attack diagnosed and treated within a 30 to 90 minute window depending on the treatment option that best meets the needs of the patient.

We have fast processes in place to treat you quickly to prevent damage from a heart attack. Patients with chest pain are immediately transferred from the waiting room to the ER examination area and undergo an electrocardiogram within 5 minutes of arrival. Protocols for appropriate medications, including aspirin and oxygen, are administered. A physician reviews the electrocardiogram and sees the patient immediately.
